BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists treat patients of all ages, helping them to maximize functional movement caused by accidents, illness, and disability. Their expertise helps improve mobility, independence, and quality of life. This course prepares you to be a physiotherapist and includes the minimum of 1,000 clinical hours you need to qualify. You'll learn how to treat patients and communicate with them effectively, gaining hands-on experience from year one through your clinical placements in the National Health Service and private sector. You'll also develop a thorough understanding of the human body, what happens when injuries occur, and how to treat and manage them.

A physiotherapy degree puts you in a powerful position when it comes to entering the world of work. Physiotherapists are in high demand across the UK and abroad.

You could opt for a career in the NHS, where physiotherapists are deployed across the medical spectrum, from intensive care and stroke rehabilitation to recovery from major surgery or trauma to care of the elderly and pediatrics. We are proud to say that our physiotherapy staff and students were involved with the delivery of the NHS Nightingale project during the COVID-19 pandemic.

You could specialize in the treatment of physical issues arising from one of the body's systems. This could mean concentrating on bones, joints, and soft tissues (musculoskeletal), the brain and nervous system (neurology), the heart and blood circulation (cardiovascular), or the respiratory organs.
